Pyroshield

The PYROSHIELD Fire Extinguishing System, manufactured by AST (PTY) LTD, is an engineered system utilising a fixed nozzle agent distribution network. The system is designed and installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 2001, "Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems".

When properly designed, the PYROSHIELD system will extinguish surface burning fire in Class A, B, and C hazards by lowering the oxygen content below the level that supports combustion.

The system can be actuated by detection and control equipment for automatic system operation along with providing local and remote manual operation as needed. Accessories are used to provide alarms, ventilation control, door closures, or other auxiliary shutdown or functions.

Basic Use – The PYROSHIELD system is particularly useful for extinguishing fires in hazards where an electrically non-conductive medium is essential or desirable; where clean up of other agents present a problem; or where the hazard is normally occupied and requires a non-toxic agent.

The following are typical hazards protected by a PYROSHIELD system: -

Computer rooms

Sub-floors

Tape storage

Telecommunication/Switch-gear

Vaults

Process equipment

All normally occupied or unoccupied electronic areas where equipment is either very sensitive or irreplaceable
